Because I have dozens of them from running them in my Kyosho buggies. I find them to last longer, operate smoother, and they leak less. And they are the cheapest x-ring type o-rings I can find. So far they are flawless in my Mi5. YMMV.

No. I never bothered with that 'fix'. That was for more or less, the prevention of extra movement of the lower caster piece on the outer pin. For this, just simply shim as needed. .1 shims do this job nicely.

Team Schumacher has done a fabulous job with designing the total pkg with this kit. The kingpin issue more than likely was a 'non-issue' with their bevy of team drivers but in the hands of us mere mortals, a weakness have reared its ugly head. But not to fret...once pin-pointed, our concerns were heard, running corrections were made and we have new parts. Bravo Schuie!! Bravo

I wonder if there has been any testing or thoughts on the impact of varying thicknesses for the top deck?

Did you run your car with the conventional battery or the shorty? Is anyone else running the shorty setup with success? I know Captain America really likes his!

I run mine with a shorty pack...... prior to running shorty's, my car weighed 1540 grams, I replaced my servo with a savox, went to a shorty pack, changed to a PF speed 6 LW body. now my car weighs 1265 grams,,, It works great now
